Mutual Fund Investors
The fund normally seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets at the time of initial purchase in common stocks of companies that have market capitalizations that are under $2 billion. Typically, the adviser looks to invest in companies with leading market share positions, shareholder oriented managements, and strong balance sheet and cash flow ratios. Usually, the shares of the companies the adviser buys are selling at a price to earnings ratio below the average price to earnings ratio of the stocks which comprise the Russell 2000 Index. In addition, the companies selected by the adviser usually have higher returns on equity and capital than the average company in the Russell 2000 Index.
Using screening parameters such as price to earnings ratios, relative return on equity, and other financial ratios, the adviser screens the fund's universe of potential investments to identify potentially undervalued securities. The adviser further narrows the list of potential investments through traditional fundamental security analysis, which may include interviews with company management and a review of the assessments and opinions of outside analysts and consultants. Securities are sold when the adviser believes the shares have become relatively overvalued or it finds more attractive alternatives. The adviser generally will not sell a security merely due to market appreciation outside the target capitalization range if it believes the company has growth potential.
